On November 8, the Department of Philosophy hosted the final Ruthanne Beighley ’72 H’20 Humanities Speaker Series of 2023. With an generous, eponymous endowment fund, current humanities students gain perspective from successful alumni returning after developing their careers. The presentations occurred in the Sawhill Georgian Room and were delivered to nearly 40 attendees. Among the guests were Ruthanne Beighley, Esq. ’73 H’20, coordinator Sheila Gross, Ph.D. ’10, President Susan Traverso, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College Greg Q. Butcher, Ph.D. and Assistant Dean for Academic Success Jared Hanneman, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of History Jay Donis Ph.D., and First Year Curriculum Coordinator and Lecturer of English Sean Oros ’15. Philosophy majors and minors were then feted with a formal dinner in the Anderson Dining Room, where they continued conversations with Beighley and the two presenters.
The two distinguished alumni on this occasion were philosophy majors Brittany Chill ’08, and Ryan Hart, Ph.D. ’15. Professor of Philosophy and Department Chair Matthew Morgan, Ph.D. introduced the speakers. Chill completed a Master of Arts in higher education and college counseling in 2015, and now serves as the Director of Career Services at Shorelight, an international education company, overseeing career programs with more than 70 university partners. She also works with immigrants and refugees in the Dayton, Ohio area, and owns her own consulting business. Hart is the Neuro-Documentation Coordinator at FHC, Inc. Following his graduation from Thiel College, he earned his master’s in philosophy from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, co-founded Narrative Dimensions, and last year, completed his Ph.D. in the medical humanities from the University of Texas in Galveston. His work is primarily geared toward exploring ways of narrowing the gap between medical and existential understandings of illness.
Following are some student reflections on the presentations:
Chill described how Thiel taught her how to thing, rather than what to think… She found that social structures that would tell students otherwise on this and other traditions are comprised only by our minds: the cage is made of nothing but thoughts, though they can range from being harmless to outright dangerous. [Hart] described how stories consist of what we care about, allowing storytelling to communicate cultural values…Lastly, the theme of interpretation was especially important throughout the two presentations: people must experience literature to be ready to interpret their lives, yet also must experience life to be ready to interpret media.—Roxanne Cianci ’24
Britt Chill’s presentation focused on discussing her life as a student and beyond, especially with the struggles she faced during her academic career. Ultimately, she wanted to help students the way the faculty and staff helped her during her own struggles. Ryan Hart’s presentation, on the other hand, discussed three primary themes of a humanities education… uncertainty, interpretation, and possibility. The lessons learned were what makes a good life, and to live the best life you can, while you can.—Alex Henry ’24
One of my personal favorite things she [Brittany] shared is that “you should be the only one defining what success means for you.” Ryan detailed during his time at Thiel he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma twice. His cancer diagnosis brought about feelings of uncertainty and raised new questions for him. Ryan shared that he considered the philosophical idea of death, and didn’t back down from the challenges life threw at him. —Isabella Lampadarios ’24
Britt Chill said: Having a degree in philosophy and the humanities is not about achieving material success; rather, it’s about personal intellectual growth and maturity.
Ryan Hart said: Sprezzatura, grace under pressure, is a vital lesson with many applications beyond education.—Bradley Molnar ’24
I felt particularly struck by Ryan’s speech because he did a wonderful job of putting the fragility of life into perspective… when one begins to cherish the struggle and love the process, intellectual growth begins to flourish.—Mark Permigiani ’24

A Thiel Players Reunion is in the works! Stay tuned for updates.
On behalf of all of us on the Thiel campus and the Alumni Association, we express our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Lynn E. (Miller) McClimans ’79. She passed away on November 10, 2023. McClimans served as Thiel College Alumni Director from August 2005-09. She was also the Director of Annual Giving and Parent Relations from 1999–2002 and served on the Alumni Board of Directors from 1992–99. Prior to that, she was the administrative assistant for the Center for Lifelong Learning on campus from 1980-81 and 1983-86. She served on the Haller Enterprise Institute Board and was a Presidential Search Representative.
McClimans graduated from Indian River College, Fla. with an associate degree in psychology in 1976, from Thiel College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1979 and attended Kent State University working towards a Master of Arts degree. She was the owner of Mode O’Day, women’s clothing and accessories franchise in Greenville 1980-85. She served as Executive Director for the Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce from 1986–96 and served on the boards of the Greenville Area Economic Development Corporation, Mercer County Tourist Agency, Greenville Regional Hospital Wellness Center Advisory, Mercer County VoTech General Advisory. She married H. Edward McClimans on June 21, 1980, and he survives at home in Greenville. Also surviving are her son, Matthew McClimans, of Columbus, Ohio; her father, John C.
